"I like to think of this as the second half of The Streets' A Grand Don't Come For Free written from the girl's perspective. I can't believe I never bothered to listen for a whole 10 years." Reply

"A strong Iron Maiden album although as with latter day Maiden albums it's short of those classic metal anthems they were so brilliant at writing in the eighties. Still, it's all solid stuff from a band who are still burning brightly." Reply
"A good listen to long time Sonic Youth fans. Dont know if it will mean much to other casual listeners. Incinerate is so good." Reply
